BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an organizer case for placing and storing objects, and in particular to an organizer case which can be stacked or arranged from left to right when available in multiple quantities and in different sizes.

b) Description of the Prior Art

Cases are mainly used for placing and storing objects, and as the objects to be placed increase in both variety and quantity, the number of cases that are required also increases as a result. After placing objects into cases, it is very likely to need to stack together a plurality of cases that have objects placed in them, so that the cases with objects placed in them can then be conveniently carried and transported at the same time. Although the cases can be made to firmly engage with each other from top to bottom in order to prevent them from falling off during transportation, the shape and size of the stacked cases are limited in that they have to be exactly identical for all of the cases, so that the stacked cases can engage with each other effectively. But in actual uses, cases of different shapes and sizes are often selected according to the variety and size of the objects being placed into them. Consequently, this results in the selection of cases of different shapes and sizes, and the inability of stacking together the cases securely, the inability of carrying and transporting the cases at the same time, as well as the inability of having cases of different shapes and sizes to be firmly stacked together and arranged from left to right securely at the same time. Therefore, improvements to the existing cases are urgently required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the described disadvantages and shortcomings of the current technology, the present invention provides an organizer case adapted for mutually and vertically stacking and having square organizer cases of different sizes capable of being arranged from left to right in flexible ways, so that a plurality of square organizer cases of different sizes can be mutually stacked or arranged from left to right.

To achieve the aforesaid purposes, an organizer case is disclosed in the present invention, comprising:

-   -   a base plate;     -   an enclosure being protruded from and formed at a top surface of         the base plate, and extended along a perimeter of the base plate         to enclose the base plate, and having at least one group of         indentations concavely disposed on a top edge thereof, each of         the at least one group of indentations includes two indentations         being extended to an inner wall surface and an outer wall         surface of the enclosure, and the two indentations from each of         the at least one group of indentations being extended in         parallel directions.

The advantage of the present invention includes that when an ordinary case having an encircling flange on a bottom surface thereof is stacked on top of an organizer case of the present invention, the enclosure of the present invention prevents the bottom surface of the upper case from contacting objects placed into the organizer case of the present invention; the two indentations from the group of indentations of the present invention respectively engage with two parallel sections of the encircling flange on the bottom surface of the upper case, so as to allow the organizer case of the present invention to stably engage with the upper case and inhibit the upper case from falling off. As a result, a plurality of the organizer cases can be stacked conveniently, and the stacked cases can be carried and transported to indoor or outdoor locations easily without falling off by the use of the described structures, such that the cases can be carried conveniently in various spaces and environments, and working efficiency can be increased. Further, the cases can be maintained in a state of being stacked after arriving at a destination, which effectively saves the available space, and the two indentations from the group of indentations of the present invention allow square cases of different sizes to be mutually and vertically stacked and arranged from left to right in flexible and diverse ways, such that the effect of mutually stacking a plurality of square cases of different sizes and arranging them from left to right can be achieved.

The enclosure of the organizer case has two groups of indentations described above, and the two groups of indentations are respectively disposed on two opposing sides of the enclosure, wherein the two indentations from one of the group of indentations are disposed on one same extended line with the two indentations from the other group of indentations, respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Drawings and the preferred embodiments of the present invention are presented in order to further illustrate the utility of technical solutions in achieving the expected purposes of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an organizer case 10 of the present invention comprises a base plate 11, an enclosure 12, an encircling flange 13 and a plurality of protruding ribs 14.

The base plate 11 is square in this embodiment, and further includes a rectangular shape, but is not limited to this shape and may include other shapes as well.

The enclosure 12 protrudes from and forms at a top surface of the base plate 11, and extends along a perimeter of the base plate 11 to enclose the base plate. In this embodiment, the enclosure 12 extends and forms a rectangle, and has two opposing long sides and two opposing short sides; the enclosure 12 has two groups of indentations concavely disposed on a top edge thereof, and the two groups of indentations are respectively disposed on two opposing sides of the enclosure 12; each of the group of indentations comprises two indentations 121, and the two indentations 121 are disposed adjacent to the remaining two opposing sides of the enclosure 12, respectively. In this embodiment, the two groups of indentations are respectively disposed on two long sides of the enclosure 12, and the two indentations 121 of each group of indentations are disposed adjacent to two short sides of the enclosure 12; each of the indentations 121 extends to an outer wall surface and an inner wall surface of the enclosure 12, that is, the indentations 121 extend and horizontally penetrate the enclosure 12. As shown in FIG. 3, two indentations 121A from the same group of indentations extend in parallel directions, wherein the two indentations 121A from one group of indentations are respectively disposed on one same extended line L as two indentations 121B from the other group of indentations. In other words, an extending direction of each of the indentations 121A is identical to that of each corresponding indentations 121B from the other group of indentations, and positions of the indentations are aligned.

Referring to FIG. 2, the encircling flange 13 protrudes from and forms at a bottom surface of the base plate 11, and extends and encloses around the base plate; a shape forms by the extension and enclosing of the encircling flange 13 corresponds to a shape of the base plate 11. So in this embodiment, the encircling flange 13 is also rectangular in shape; an outer diameter of the encircling flange 13 corresponds to an inner diameter of the enclosure 12.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 9, the plurality of protruding ribs 14 protrude from and form at a top surface of the base plate 11 and are located inside of the enclosure 12; the protruding ribs 14 have intervals spaced therebetween, and are almost fully distributed on the top surface of the base plate 11. In this embodiment, a cross section of each of the protruding ribs 14 is semi-circular but is not limited to this shape; when objects are placed on the base plate 11, the objects come into contact with the protruding ribs 14 without contacting the base plate 11, which prevents the objects from adhering to the base plate 11.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the organizer case 10 of the present invention is in use, the organizer case can be complemented with an case 20 having an encircling flange 21 on a bottom surface thereof or another organizer case 10 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the case 20 is square in shape, and an area thereof is precisely double that of an area of the rectangle of the present invention. Alternatively, a case 20 having an encircling flange 21 on a bottom surface thereof can be complemented with three of the organizer cases 10 of the present invention, and an area of the case 20 is precisely three times that of an area of one organizer case 10. Further, a shape of the organizer case 10 of the present invention is not limited to a rectangle, and a shape of the case 20 is not limited to a square; as long as the enclosure 12 of the organizer case 10 has the indentations 121 formed thereon, and the indentations 121 correspond to the encircling flange 21 of the case 20, the organizer case 10 can subsequently be designed as square bodies of different sizes, and the corresponding case 20 can also be designed as square bodies of different sizes, such that when the organizer case 10 is mutually stacked or arranged from left to right with the case 20 or another organizer case 10 of the present invention, the cases can be mutually stacked in diverse ways, thereby achieving the effect of flexibly stacking cases of different quantities and different sizes.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the organizer case 10 can be stacked under the case 20, and the encircling flange 21 on the bottom surface of the case 20 will be pressed against one long side and two short sides of the enclosure 12 of the organizer case 10, while also allowed to pass through and engage with two indentations 121 on the other long side of the enclosure 12 that is not pressed against. Consequently, the case 20 is stably placed on top of the organizer case 10, and a height of the enclosure 12 prevents the bottom surface of the case 20 from contacting the objects inside of the organizer case 10.

In addition, even though only one group of indentations is used in the example of usage described above, a group of indentations is disposed on two opposing sides, respectively, and thus even if the organizer case 10 is rotated 180 degrees horizontally, the organizer case can still be engaged and fixed by using another group of indentations and handily applied.

Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, the organizer case 10 can also be stacked on top of the case 20, and the encircling flange 13 underneath the organizer case 10 will be pressed against a perimeter at an opening of the case 20, which enhances the stability of the two cases stacked together.

Moreover, the organizer case 10 can also be stacked on top of the case 20 of precisely the same size, so as to allow the whole encircling flange 13 to be completely pressed against a perimeter at an opening of the case 20 to enhance the stability of the stacking.

Accordingly, the present invention allows a plurality of cases thereof to be stacked conveniently, and the stacked cases can be carried and transported to indoor or outdoor locations easily without falling off by using structures thereof, such that the cases can be carried conveniently in various spaces and environments, and a working efficiency thereof can be increased. Further, the cases can be maintained in a state of being stacked after arriving at a destination, which effectively saves available space, and the two indentations from the groups of indentations of the present invention achieve the advantage of allowing square cases of different sizes to be mutually and vertically stacked and arranged from left to right in flexible and diverse ways, such that the effect of mutually stacking a plurality of square cases of different sizes and arranging them from left to right can be attained.
